[Ansteorra] Marshalette Secretary needed

[Ld.blackmoon]

greetings

i don't know , as a distraction, i'm pretty certain that a bunch of big 
burly guys in dresses  and combat boots ,spinning marshals batons and headed 
for the trimarin lines , would more than get their attention ; )
if nothing else , it could send them all running for the local purveyer of 
brain bleach, or the local brewers , or both...

Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .
Arthur
